BWOs active (size 18-20). Caddis beginning. Crystal River is more sensitive to runoff than larger rivers โ€” watch CFS carefully. Upper sections near Marble blow out faster than lower.

About Crystal River

Small, clear, and scenic through Crystal Valley below Marble. Wild rainbow and brown trout in a canyon few anglers bother with. Bring stealth โ€” the fish spook easily in clear water.
